Miniaturised sonar allows underwater drones to detect submarines without large platforms. This widens sensing coverage, cuts cost, and enables persistent monitoring—changing how underwater spaces are watched, protected, and contested.Learning Outcomes
- Understand how miniaturised sensors expand the role of uncrewed underwater systems.
- Recognise how distributed underwater sensing can extend detection beyond crewed platforms.
- Consider implications for protecting seabed infrastructure and maritime approaches.
